The observatory was
located in Druogo,
a
small
town of Val Vigezzo, province of Verbania,
near Lake Maggiore, Italian Alps. Aldo modified the home roof to
include a 2.5 m dome, supported with two external colums for the walls,
and with a single independent column for the telescope. Inside the dome
the Schmidt Camera was supported with a heavy fork mount. Now the telescope and mount were located in the personal observatory of Lorenzo Comolli. Click on the images for hires. |
